Professor Roth and his grad students from EIU's Dept of Ecology (Fish management) visited us today to talk about how to determine a fishes age. Bio 1 students dissected the otoliths in the head. These special structures look like rings similar to a tree. You simply count the number of rings to determine the age. Very cool! We love having Bio on the Road visiting our school!!
